현등사 삼층석탑, Three-story stone pagoda in Gapyeong-gun, South Korea.

Description

Hyeungdeungsa Three-story Stone Pagoda is a three-tiered stone structure rising from a broad foundation with decorative elements at each corner. The levels are defined by curved roof tiles and cornices that create horizontal divisions throughout the monument's height.

History

This pagoda was constructed during the Unified Silla period and demonstrates the building practices of medieval Buddhist monuments. It represents how temple architecture developed in this classical era of Korean civilization.

Culture

Each level of the pagoda contains specific Buddhist symbolism, with five-tiered cornices and decorative elements reflecting Korean religious architecture.

Practical

The temple sits on level ground accessible by marked paths and remains open daily from sunrise to sunset for visitors. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk to reach the pagoda from the temple entrance.

Did you know?

The pagoda maintains its original stone structure with specific proportions where the second and third stories measure one-third the height of the first level.
